WHILE oxygen is essential to survival, sometimes too much of this good thing can cause our body to age faster and get sick sooner.

The process of ?putrefaction? can set in outside and inside the body. When food is exposed to the air, microbes invade the protein, peptides and amino acids found in eggs, fish and meat.
Microbes occur inside the digestive tract. Then oxidation produces waste products that need to be expelled from the body.

The presence of toxic waste products causes various conditions: Hydrogen sulfide and ammonia?liver damage; histamines?asthma or allergies; indoles, phenols and scatoles?cancer.

The body?s natural defense is to release neutrophils (a type of white corpuscles). However, for neutrophil to work, there is a lot of active oxygen. Studies have shown that an excess of active oxygen is bad. Protection against oxidation is called anti-oxidant, vitamins and minerals whose function is to prevent the natural rusting away inside the body. This includes A, C, E, betacarotene, selenium and glutathione. They contain natural blockers of the interaction of free radical cells with normal healthy cells.

Excessively offensive stools indicate the presence of toxins and are indications of certain diseases.

There is a powerful weapon against oxidation. It?s called oxygen reduction potential (ORP). While a balanced diet rich in antioxidants and vitamin/mineral supplementation is increased ORP, there is yet another defensive choice?water. But not just any water. Ionized water is the result of mild electrolysis. It is filtered and reformed so that it contains a large mass of electrons which block the oxidation of normal cells.

Take your average tap water with a pH of 7 (that?s neutral). It?s neither acidic (less than pH 7) nor alkaline (above 7). When measured, its ORP value isn?t good enough to fend off free radical damage. Ionized water has the highest of redox (reduced oxidation/oxygen) potential.

Ionized water

Dr. Yoshiaki Matsuo, PhD, vice director, Water Institute of Japan invented the ionized water unit. In 1965, the Ministry of Welfare of Japan announced that ?reduced? water obtained from electrolysis prevents abnormal fermentation of intestinal microbes.

The Izumi brand Alkaline Water Ionizer distributed by Aqualipure (tel. number: 2882231; 2883858; 0922-8563926) is the only one of its kind in the country that produces (for home and industrial use) three levels of alkaline water and two kinds of acidic water.

With each level of alkalinity is a higher ORP. Acid water, on the other hand, can be used for bathing (Note: The skin, eyes and mouth are acidic). Super acid water is for disinfecting vegetables and meats and sanitizing surroundings.

Testimonials have shown that consumption of special water results in weight loss (10 lbs in 2 months), lessens constipation, migraines, chronic headaches, high blood pressure, eczema and kidney problems.

Wellness regimen

Add 2 slices of fresh lemon to your drinking water to make it alkaline. Drink 3 times a day to wash out the acids in your tummy.

In a tub of warm water, mix 1 cup of fresh milk or ? cup of coco vinegar. This will leave your skin smooth and soft. Immerse yourself for 7 minutes. Rub with virgin coco oil and achieve younger-looking skin.

Affirmation: ?I flow freely with the waters of life.?

Love and light!
